I began working with individuals several years ago who expressed an interest in exploring how their mental health (often) relates to their physical health, and how their psychological roadblocks (thoughts/feelings) often hinder them with their weight loss attempts.

While coaching individuals, or with groups, I became interested in assisting people with exploring their weight loss issues from a “psychological perspective” by using a cognitive behavioral approach that helped dieter’s successfully identify their thoughts and patterns (that often lead to emotional eating and behaviors associated with weight gain).

With a Masters degree in Counseling Education and Counseling Psychology I have had the privilege of coaching people who are interested in weight loss by providing education, strategies, and support for those that want assistance in identifying cognitive behavioral techniques that they can implement immediately and achieve successive small changes in their weight loss thinking and behavior – which can add up to huge overall changes!
